Putting the desk together, after almost a year, on my birthday

Finally, on my birthday, I got excited about assembling the desk. After all, a birthday is a day you should get to do something you want. I was inspired because I didn't want one more dinner gathering with this box in the way.
We're already put the desk tighter a few weeks before. Also, I was inspired because I needed the good feeling that comes from success and creativity. (And, praise God, my back is so much better than it was on my last birthday. I can do so much now but I do have to be very careful about what I choose to lift or shove around. I always get help lifting.)

Joanna was patient to wait for this to be put together. Both kids had a good time doing this together. I got them to do a lot on their own, and together.
